I have no problems either. I can see the picture just fine. Weird....

Also for anyone interested, I found the character relationship chart from way back:

Spoiler for Relationship Chart:

Hehe, I got vibes about the triangle within 10 minutes of the first episode. When you've got a group of five, with two people clearly separated, you're left with an inevitable triangle.

Q: Which one would you like to see naked?

A: Both.

Good answer, not the one they wanted!

On Yui she doesn't hate guys. Just afraid of being molested or raped. Which is why she went ballistic on Iori not having anybody to protect her.

Iori on the other hand has a point. Our personalities are shaped by our circumstances. We all have our masks. Iori's mask is that she is an extrovert but inside she is an introvert.

Himeko what she did was ingenious! Not only as getting back on Nice Guy Taiichi but also force the issue. Does he like Iori or her? Plus taking from Kuko set up flags for gay party on the rival.

this is the second series this season that pretty much flipped upsode down in the second episode in a good way, i pretty much thougth this was natsuiro kiseki wothout the fun(yuri), also silver link have been producing very interesting anime lately, an it seem this is one of those.

frivolity · 2012-07-15, 03:59

Yea I originally thought Himiko was a kuu, who would remain unpaired, but it seems she's more of a tsun.

No game.

Probably you were still able to see it because of cookie settings?

EDIT: Nevermind. I'll do the dirty job then, as a just-in-case situation. Probably Firefox being derp and meh and all.

Spoiler for Character relationships:

And I guess Kokoro Connect is aptly titled not for no reason at all.

tsunade666 · 2012-07-15, 04:55

what does the love arrow meant? it's alright for only 2 people but the problem lies with Himiko, Iori and Taichi or rather Taichi is the problem for that relationship chart. The love sign goes both ways and 2 unknown yet characters.

Chaos2Frozen · 2012-07-15, 04:57

I can imagine one of the worst thing to happen is one of them confessing to someone who is not themselves at the moment... The way this body switch almost seems like it's waiting to screw them up, I would say it's highly likely.

The Studio has done some nice things with their visuals previously, but I guess it was the first time I saw Silver Link not copying SHAFTs style.

s07195 · 2012-07-15, 05:32

I thought that the episode kinda had a weird pace, until I watched it again. The issue about the personalities and bodies which was brought up was quite interesting, no? Plus, the Heartseed guy feels like some kind of author avatar.

@Jmko Is that a Taichi x Inaba avatar I see there? Love it.

(Any similar avys of this franchise do you have?)

Baka to test and C3 have Shaft feel from the animation style.

Om Nerabdator · 2012-07-15, 06:27

just watched the 2nd ep

the first ep was fun and enjoyable but i feel this is gonna get alot darker from now on which im not looking forward too and that little argument about Iori being home alone just made it certain that later on we will see a scene with someone being inside Ioris body at home being attacked then suddenly switching back again, then everyone trying to save her.

I really do feel that this is gonna happen

Wow is that Himeko?

I'm surprised when I see her pm that picture and this is done by silver link? the feel I get is Kyoani on it specially the electric pulse like on the title which reminds me of angel beats.

Tasogare Otome from last season has similar colorful approach, albeit tone down from the early rainbow lands...

If you look back to the early pages, Everybody thought it would be KyoAni or A1 or AIC or even PA works

I doubt. To me it seem like that argument was only there to hint at something which had happened to Yui .. Was pretty obvious tbh if you saw the way she acted, and is scared of males etc. You should also watch the next episode preview if you didn't..

Anyway this series looks pretty cool. Looks like they are getting pretty used to switching, where Inaba and Taichi don't even get phased when talking.

I wonder if this will take a darker turn later on though, I'm guessing Iori is hiding a darker personality under the genki one she uses.

Spoiler for just in case:

huh...i totally missed that!? that would explain why she learn kung fu too

Seiryuu · 2012-07-15, 08:45

One question concerning the "explanation": did Heartseed say it would end when HE started to think "well, that was fun", or when THEY find themselves starting to think that?

Also, there's one thing I missed that I saw in the manga:

Also, there's one thing I missed that I saw in the manga: Spoiler for Manga: I wish they'd shown Iori's little discussion with Taichi prior to the philosophical musings on individuality. In the manga, she remarks that in the stories she's seen with body swaps, some girl ultimately does "that" to a guys "that", and starts asking Taichi (from inside Aoki) how to do "that" to a boy's "that", and discussing whether she ever really would do "that" to a boy's "that" and try to make it do "that"... until finally Taichi looks at her and asks if she'd really just wanted to say "that" over and over again. And so you know, yes, she did replace all the words with the simple ambiguous word "THAT".
